New Live URL Link Replacement Tokens within CCR Text Fields: meet <smp>, <smpPrefix> and <homepage>!

CCR users can now take advantage of an enhanced syntax for substituting pre-defined tokens with live URL links within phase-related text fields. In addition to the existing <env> token which automatically updates to reflect the Environment of the relevant CCR Record, CCR now introduces three new keywords: <smp> , <smpPrefix> , and <homepage>.

The new <smp> token automatically replaces itself with the URL of the Management Portal's homepage for the System associated with the CCR Record in the Environment that most recently received changes to the Record. For example, if a CCR Record is under a BASE-TEST-LIVE System and currently in the LIVE Environment, using <smp> within the 'Testing Plan' text field and clicking on the generated link will direct the user to the LIVE Environment's Management Portal, since that is where the Record currently resides.

<smpPrefix>, meanwhile, manifests as the most basic prefix included in every URL for the System's Management Portal. This makes it easy to dynamically link to any specific Management Portal page in the correct environment - you just need to append the correct suffix! For example, to access the SQL tab of the System Explorer you would write <smpPrefix>exp/%25CSP.UI.Portal.SQL.Home.zen.

Finally, the new <homepage> token behaves like the previous two tokens, but it links to the homepage of the CCR Record’s System in the relevant Environment instead of the Management Portal.
